One More Voice Heard

Kris had decided last week that he was getting up early this morning so that he could vote before work. I decided to go with him. We got to the high school just a few minutes before the polls opened at 7. The line was significant, which made us both happy. We joined it, and we waited. He read (currently, Thoreau’s Walden), and I worked on the Eye of Partridge shawl.

It’s 21″ across the top right now, and per my scale I’ve used 15g out of the 100.

We made our way across the parking lot, slowly but steadily, and were finished and headed back to the car at ten minutes after eight. We ran over to Panera to grab breakfast (A spinach and artichoke baked egg souffle and a GIANT mug of hot chocolate. Yum.), and then Kris dropped me off at home before heading to the office.

So, it’s now 9:15, I’ve done my civic duty, and I have the whole day ahead of me. My only plans? Do some research on election-related trivia (because if we get NO election questions tonight, I’ll be surprised), and make a run to Target to see if I can find one of the Rizzo Barbies that the insanely cool Penny Karma sent me a picture of this morning.

So, if you haven’t voted yet, what the hell are you waiting for? (Non-US citizens obviously exempt from that question.)

You could have been like me – getting up @ 5am and rolling to the polling place in my jammies (yes) getting there 20 minutes b4 polls opened, wait for an hour then realize you have no id.
Go home, shower dress for j.o.b.#1 – rush back to polls, wait another 45 mins – vote – then rush to work and be 30 mins late… then rush to j.o.b. #2 all while getting text & random election updates, then roll home and in the door @ 11:22pm with 2 hours of homework and classes the next day. Woo!
